PROGRESS: Completed (08/06/2026) - full-game release, featuring a custom region, updated Generation 9 battle mechanics, and extensive quality-of-life adjustments.

A lighthearted decompilation hack of Pokémon Emerald where you take on the world as an uninsured Trainer after a truck accident. Explore a custom region and story as you fight your way through the Pokémon League to earn enough money to clear your medical debt.
